Leighton Baines scored a late penalty to complete a stunning comeback and end Everton's five game losing spell.

Brazilian ace Richarlison opened the scoring as he rounded the keeper and stabbed in after collecting a cross from Andre Gray.

Christian Kabasele doubled the Hornets' lead when he powerfully met a corner, beating Phil Jagielka in the air in the 64th minute.

But three minutes later the hosts kickstarted an incredible comeback the hosts, as Oumar Niasse bundled past sub keeper Orestis Karnezis before sliding into an open goal.

Before Dominic Calvert-Lewin saved a point with a back post header - his fifth goal of the season - before Baines scored from the penalty spot, after Aaron Lennon had been felled.

Tom Cleverley added to the drama by scuffing a 100th minute penalty wide.

1. UNSWORTH'S VITAL STATISTICS

The writing appeared on the wall when Joey Barton recited his ludicrous torrent of cheap insults on the radio.

On the evidence of his four games in charge, David Unsworth is not going to land the Everton manager's job on a full-time basis. Even glorified PE teachers, portly stewards and incurable blockheads who spout drivel on the airwaves knew his spell in the cockpit was never going to satisfy the patrons of Gladwys Street.

But at least they showed heart and courage here when the cause looked lost. From 2-0 down after 64 minutes, Everton somehow summoned the spirit to repair the damage within 10 minutes.

The stupendous finale to the game may well allow him to keep hold of the reins after the international break.

2. ROONEY & SIGURDSSON ARE THE NEW GERRARD & LAMPARD

Just as Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, the two outstanding midfielders of England's so-called golden generation, rarely flourished in the same team, there is growing evidence that Wayne Rooney and Gylfi Sigurdsson can't both prosper in the Everton side.

The former England captain and record £45 million signing were among jettisoned manager Ronald Koeman's plethora of No.10 signings in the summer.

Here, Rooney started on the left and Sigurdsson on the right – but in truth, Everton would be more effective with one or the other playing down the middle.

3. WATFORD CURSED BY INJURIES

Until goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes was forced off with a head injury, Watford looked more or less in complete control at Goodison Park.

Greek international Orestis Karnezis, who replaced Gomes, spread an air of panic among the visitors where none had existed.

Karnezis was expertly baulked by Phil Jagileka from the corner which led to Dominic Calvert-Lewin's equaliser, but it is hard to envisage Watford collapsing so readily with Gomes in charge.

4. SORRY ELTON, I GUESS THAT'S WHY EVERTON ARE CALLED THE BLUES

Where were Andy Gray and Steve Sherwood when we needed them? This was arguably Everton's most important meeting since the 1984 FA Cup final, when Elton John cried during Abide With Me and he was probably shedding a tear when Gray's mid-air ram-raid on Sherwood was allowed by referee John Hunting.

One witty Scouser's banner on the terraces 33 years ago paid homage to one of the Rocket Man's hits, reading, 'Sorry Elton, I Guess That's Why They Call Us The Blues' – and you can see why Watford had gleaned a solitary point from 10 previous visits to this side of Stanley Park.

They lost a 2-0 lead faster than Elton could rattle off a song on the piano.

5. NO FREE BEER

Six months ago, as a reward for their long-distance loyalty when 1,000 travelling Watford fans were ludicrously required to make a round trip to Merseyside on a Friday night, Hornets head coach Walter Mazzarri personally stood a round and bought them all a beer.

Nice gesture, shame about the football. If Mazzarri's generosity had been an aopology for the turgid football he had served up, it would have been received more warmly.

His successor, Marco Silva, has no need to shout up 1,500 pints yet after making such a promising start at Vicarage Road that he features prominently on Everton paymaster Farhad Moshiri's most-wanted list as a replacement for the sacked Ronald Koeman.
